A container in the shape of a right circular cylinder contains 12 liters of liquid when it is filled to 3/4 of its height. How many liters does it contain when it is completely filled?

16 liters

3/4 * 16 = 12

To find the number of liters the container can hold when it is completely filled, we need to determine the total capacity of the container.

Let's consider the given information: The container is in the shape of a right circular cylinder and when it is filled to 3/4 of its height, it contains 12 liters of liquid.

First, we can calculate the capacity of the container based on the given information. Since the container is filled to 3/4 of its height, it means the remaining 1/4 of the height is empty. This indicates that the remaining 1/4 portion can hold the same amount of liquid as the initial 3/4.

So, we can say that the 1/4 empty portion has a capacity of 12 liters.

To calculate the total capacity of the container, we need to find the capacity of each 1/4 portion and sum them up.

Since 12 liters is the capacity of the 1/4 empty portion, we can multiply it by 4 to obtain the total capacity.

12 liters * 4 = 48 liters

Therefore, the container can hold 48 liters when it is completely filled.
